DKSGACA - Eternal University

DKSGACA was established in Eternal University, Baru Sahib in 2014, with a motive to provide skill-based education in undergraduate [B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture and B.Tech. Food Technology] and postgraduate programmes in various disciplines of Agriculture and Food Technology. This institute is known for its distinctive approach towards imparting agricultural education, ensuring students are well-equipped for environmentally sustainable careers.

Courses are designed to offer high-quality education through research and development, focusing on practical applications in agricultural sciences. Teaching and R&D in fields like Biotechnology and Food Technology aim to make a lasting contribution to the nation's agricultural development.

The curriculum covers various disciplines, including Agronomy, Horticulture, Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry, Genetics & Plant Breeding, Plant Pathology, Entomology, Livestock Production, Food Technology, Biotechnology, Agricultural Economics, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship.

Special emphasis is given to the education of girls in agriculture. With a growing number of female students enrolling, their role in agricultural development is gaining prominence. They bring diverse interests, aspirations, and work styles to the scientific community.

Students at DKSGACA are trained to tackle one of the planet's biggest challenges – sustainable food production for a growing population while conserving natural resources. Equipped with knowledge in climate-resilient farming, soil quality, and crop selection, graduates can contribute significantly to the agricultural sector.
